Never Complain, Never Explain

The mark of the leader, the truly superior person, is that he, she accepts complete responsibility for the situation.

It is not possible to imagine a true leader who whines and complains rather than taking action when problems and difficulties arise.

This sense of “response-ability” is the mark of the highly developed personality:

You take responsibility for your life by resolving, in advance, that you will not become upset or angry over something that you cannot affect change. Jus as you do not become angry about the weather, you do not become angry over circumstance and situations over which you have no control.

Furthermore, you especially do not allow yourself to be angry and unhappy in the present because of unhappy experience or situations from the past.

You say,

"What cannot be cured must be endured.”

It is amazing how many people are unhappy today because of a past event, even something that happened many years ago.

Each time they think of the negative experience, they become angry or depressed once again. The good news is that at any time you can not stop thinking about, discussing and rehashing the past, you can let it go and begin thinking instead about your goals and your unlimited future.

As Helen Keller said,

“When you turn toward the sunshine, the shadows fall behind you”
